Introduced from North America in 1905, the huge Elk (Cervus elaphus nelsoni) has always been one of the most difficult trophies to bag in New Zealand. This huge (up to 1,000lb) deer is the largest of the round-horned deer in the world, with heads running 6x6 (12 points) and larger. The best Elk trophies often exceed sixty inches in both length and spread.
